We Find Significant Savings with Zero Upfront Costs

In today’s volatile electricity markets, commercial and industrial energy buyers need more than just a good price, they need the right contract structure. One often-overlooked clause in electricity supply agreements can cost, or save, businesses tens of thousands of dollars over the life of a contract: the bi-lateral capacity true-up. With PJM’s recent capacity price hikes and a new cap-and-collar mechanism in place through 2028, understanding this clause has never been more critical.

Electricity costs are climbing rapidly across the PJM territory, putting pressure on commercial and industrial (C&I) customers to take control of their energy spending. One of the most powerful ways to reduce electricity costs is by targeting peak demand, the times when your facility’s energy use is at its highest. This strategy, known as peak shaving, can significantly lower future capacity charges and protect your bottom line. In this article, we’ll explain how peak shaving works, why it’s especially important now, and simple ways your business can implement it.

As energy prices continue to rise across the PJM Interconnection, many commercial and industrial (C&I) energy users are feeling the pinch, especially when it comes to capacity charges. One of the most effective ways to offset these rising costs is by participating in a demand response program. If you’re a business in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Washington D.C., or Ohio, this could be the cost-saving opportunity you’ve been looking for.
